JACKSON UNHAPPY WITH LAKER FOCUS

January 3, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Grizzlies came into Staples Center and embarrassed the defending NBA champions 104-85.

LeBron James told reporters on Friday that he wouldn’t mind seeing less teams in the NBA, a stance that goes against the players’ union.

NBA PREVIEW: THE TOP 8 IN THE WEST

October 28, 2010 by Joel Huerto 4 Comments

Despite all the hoopla in South Beach, the road to the NBA championship still runs through the Los Angeles Lakers. Size still matters and, last time I checked, the two-time defending champions still boasts the best frontline in basketball.

NBA PREVIEW: LAKERS STILL TEAM TO BEAT

September 28, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

PAU GASOL: BEST BIG MAN IN THE NBA

June 20, 2010 by Joel Huerto 10 Comments

While accepting the NBA Finals MVP trophy from Bill Russell, Kobe Bryant appeared almost embarrassed that he was receiving an award despite a very subpar performance in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics.

NBA FINALS: LAKERS ‘D’ UP ON CELTICS

June 4, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

They stopped dribble penetration. They protected the paint. They rebounded the heck out of the ball. They took charges. They put a hand in the face of every shooter. They got to loose balls. And they took away the other team’s air space and made it a very uncomfortable night. If you think I’m referring … [Read more…]

May 2, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Utah Jazz has no shot against the L.A. Lakers. What? Say that again. The Utah Jazz has no shot against the L.A. Lakers. The reality of the Utah-L.A. series is this, the Lakers are very familiar with the Jazz and they will use the same formula that has worked for them the past two … [Read more…]
